Change IMAP Port

Hi,
I am a new Blackberry user, and although I have only had it a day, I can't see me using anything else!
Anyway, I have set up BIS to access my email account using IMAP. It's all working, but I had my mail server set up to use a non-standard port for IMAP, just to make it a little more secure. To get the Blackberry working I had to also open up port 143 (standard IMAP)
Is there a way to change the settings so that BIS will use a specific port?
The port setting in the advanced options is disabled and I can't change it.
Also, as has been mentioned by countless other posters on here, I can't believe the lack of sync of the 'read' flag from the mail server to the BB. Wake up RIM! - this is basic functionality.
Thankyou.

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
Once an email account is integrated, the port is set and cannot be edited. To change it, you must delete and re-create the BIS conduit for that account. But, when you re-create it, you need to use yoru valid email address but an invalid password. Doing so will bring you into the advanced integration screens which should (as I recall...it's been a while) provide you with the ability to configure the port.
As for what reconciles, a blanket statement concerning how it works (or does not) is not IMHO sufficient...some work, some do not. Hence, see this KB:
KB05133 Email reconciliation features for the BlackBerry Internet Service
Lastly, if you were hoping that RIM would "wake up" and see your post...such is not likely. These forums are a user-to-user channel...not a user-to-RIM path.
Good luck!

Change IMAP Port in Blackberry mail config

I hope someone can help me. I'm configuring the email account from my University in my Blackberry Torch 9800. The common port for the IMAP protocol is always 995, unfortunatelly the port used un my university is 993. How can i Change the IMAP port configuration to access in my blackberry? The configuration assistant from the mail, does not give the option to configure de port and it gives an unnexcpected error, sinces it tries to get acces by 995 port.
Best regards

Hey jduguet,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Thanks for the question.
If the email is integrating under 995, that means it is integrating as POP3 SSL. You are unable to change the port numbers in the BlackBerry Internet Service.
Also IMAP SSL is port 993.
Are you not receiving email when it is added via port 995?
I look forward to your reply.

Changing the port to use Secure IMAP 993 SSL & Secure SMTP 465 TLS Encryption is not currently supported within CIM Version 4.3(2)
The standard ports for IMAP (143), POP3 (110) and SMTP (25) are all that are supported at this time.
This ability is slated for an upcoming release of CIM, however that release is not yet known.

How to change default port in iws 4.1 installed in Solaris 5.9

Hi All,
I had installed iws 4.1 in solaris 5.9
Now , I want to change my default https port from 443 to 445 .
Can anybody , Please let me know the proceudre how to do it ?
Thanks for help in advance.
Regards
James

Ya , Manish you are right IWS 4.1 is really old.
But My application has been developed in past that is using IWS4.1 .
Right now , we are not having budget to migrate it from IWS4.1 to IWS6.1.
And the pointer for changing the port from magnus.conf is also correct but
I need to make it default port.
That means If would not specify any port number out of two port request goes to default one.
Right now default port is 443
But I want it to be 445
Thanks

My ISP tells me I need to I need to change the port to send/receive e-mails, but I can't remember my Mail password to add an account. How can I proceed without the password?

My ISP tells me I need to change the port to send/receive mail, as the current port is going to be disabled for security reasons. But I can't remember my Mail password to add an account. How can I add an account when I don't remember my password? It's been several years.

your email password is with your ISP so they can help. but if it is saved in the email app you can just change the ports in the preferneces without a password.

My provider changed to pop3 port 995 incoming and port 465 outgoing. Now it no longer works. I went into the Thunderbird 28 beta and changed the ports

I have Thunderbird 28 beta. After changing the ports, I no longer receive mail and this is the error message going out:
Sending of message failed.
The message could not be sent because the connection to SMTP server mail.3dcartstores.com timed out. Try again or contact your network administrator.
Passwords have not been changed and I have to login on the web

What are the exact instructions from your email provider?

Can't change printer port on Windows 8.1 and Server 2012 R2

1. Install "Lexmark X646e Class Driver" using a in-box print driver (i.e. one comes with the Windows installation base) .
2. Go to "Printer properties" -> "Port"
3. Select a custom monitor port, and the following error occurs in Event Viewer.
An error occurred while configuring print queue 'Lexmark X646e Class Driver'. Printer driver 'Lexmark X646e Class Driver' may not be used in conjunction with a non-inbox port monitor.
Same steps applied on Windows 8 and Server 2012, and not issues found. The restriction/limitation is newly added in Window 8.1 and Server 2012 R2.
Changing to a custom monitor port after printer driver installation is very important for us.
How can we solve or workaround the above issue, so it can behave like Windows 8 and Server 2012?

What Port Monitor just so I can bubble this information to some others?
Alan Morris Windows Printing Team
Hi Alan:
We developed a custom printing system, which involved the following configurations:
1. Create a custom port monitor on server 2012 r2.
2. Change an existing print queue to use this custom port monitor, and share this print queue.
3. All workstations will print to this shared print queue on the server.
The goal is to manage/monitor the print information in StartDocPort for all printing for instance. This is what we've been doing for a long time.
Now we upgraded our system from server 2012 to server 2012 R2, but we can't change the port monitor to our ones anymore.
I've tried the Type3 printer driver, such as Brother Color Type3 Class Driver, unfortunately it didn't work if the installation is using "Add a printer", and select the driver from the list.
The only way to make it work is to install the printer driver using the one downloaded from the vendor's website, this will bypass Windows "Add a printer".
Is there any chance we can make this to behave like server 2012 or earlier? Modify registry keys?
Cheers
Steven

How do I change a port in Mac OS X Mountain lion

Apparently Logmein makes use of port 2002 in mac OS X Mountain Lion. I need to use that for some new accounting software. How do I change the part in Mountain Lion and how would I do an install of Logmein on the computer to use another port or how, with Logmein currently installed do I change from port 2002 to some other port. The major question is how do you change port assignments in OS x Mountain Lion?
Thanks for you help.

There isn't a generic way to do what you want. Not on Microsoft Windows. Not on OS X.
The ICANN registry of port numbers exists so that these messes don't happen, or don't happen very often. So that there are no port conflicts among various applications, and there are ways to request ephemeral (temporary) ports, and (for some applications) to find out which port(s) the application happens to have allocated and is using. In this case, it appears that folks at LogMeIn and with the accounting software didn't avail themselves of the ICANN port database. They're using the preferences mechanism as a work-around for that.
Have a look at ipfw and pfctl tools here (see man ipfw and man pfctl at the Terminal.app prompt), and see if you can figure out how you're going to map just one local application that's opening 2002 to some other port, without disturbing the other application that's mapping to that same port (and colliding). This is the remapping mechanism and akin to what can happen at some firewalls, and not the requested control over the selected port. It's not set up to remap local application conflicts.
The selected port is either a configuration option within the specific tool, or it's hard-coded within the tool. There's no generic registry of applications and ports. That's what the ICANN port registry is for.
The worst-bad-ugly approach is to dump out the executable code, reverse engineer it, and patch the preferred port right into the code; to change the code without using the original source code. Or some tool-specific configuration file or preferences setting, as and if available.

How to change the port in the URL of a BSP Iview

Hello,
we have several appraisal templates released in our R/3 system and we can access them by the portal.
We are changing our systems and we are implementing a load balanced in order to improve the connections with the portal. So we need to know how can we change the port of the server that appears in the URL when we go to MSS ->teamviewer and select one appraisal to see the information of the template.
We need to change it and indicate the port of the load balanced http://emsapl404pre.endesa.es:8000/sap/bc/bsp/sap/hap_document...) not the port of one of the WAS server as we have now http://emsapl404pre.endesa.es:8302/sap/bc/bsp/sap/hap_document...)
Thanks in advanced.
Best regards.

I am trying to set up my outlook 2007 account on i pad and the process sticks on verifying. It would appear to be a problem with outgoing server and I have changed the port number but with no success.

I have just purchased an i pad 2 and am having trouble with the e-mail set up. Set up with wi-fi, i-cloud etc has worked fine but the i pad is recognising my outlook 2007 account details but is not verifying it. The trouble appears to be with the outgoing server and I have tried changing the port number, but to no avail! Also reset the account settings for holding messages on the server...help! As you can tell I'm not very techy and I'm desperate to get the bloody thing working as I'm going away on Tuesday! Any suggestions?

I had a similar issue and it was password case sensitive issue

Can't change the port

A while ago, while in a library and trying to iChat/text with my wife and getting errors I attempted changing the port to 443 to solve the issue. It helped and I was able to chat.
Now I'm having problems Vchatting and thought I'd change the port back to 5190. But I can't. When I open preferences and go to server settings and click on the port settings it's like clicking on a frozen window, nothing happens.
I realize changing the ports may or may not solve my problem, but why on earth can I no longer change the port settings?
Thanks

Hi Daniel,
You first have to log out of your AIM account.
(you can log out by selecting iChat's pull down menu and select "log out of AIM)
Then you will be able to change the port.

Can't change my Port under preferences

For some reason.
I have chosen my server for outgoing mail, but when I go to advanced to type in the appropriate Port #, the number that is there is shaded and I can't type there. I click the SSL checkbox on and off and the port number changes but incorrectly both times.
Is there a way I can control what port I wanna send my mail through?
Thanks

You do not have to set up your mail again.
If you scroll down far enough in the screenshots it tells how to access
the smtp server settings.
NOT on the advanced tab, but under the 'account information' tab.
On the Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) pop-up menu (close to bottom )select Edit Server List.
Result: The SMTP Server Options window opens. This window should let you change
the port smtp uses.
You are not trying to change the smtp port in the correct location if you are seeing the port number 143 was my point.

Why does the port settings on my iPad change every time I sync with my computer. After syncing I have to go in and change the port settings so I can send and receive emails on my iPad.

Every time iSync my iPad 2 with my computer it changes the port settings. Has anyone else had this issue?

When you sync the iPad, do you have mail settings configured to sync to the iPad? You could have different settings on your computer that might be affecting the email set up on the iPad when you sync.
